Some Catholic leaders from New York and New Jersey have organized a demonstration in Newark, New Jersey, against the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
Protesters plan to gather at a church and then march to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in downtown Newark. Cardinal Joseph Tobin of the Archdiocese of Newark will bless the protest and accompany the march.
“Images of immigrant children detained in cages, separated from family members, and living in unsanitary, unhealthy conditions have outraged the nation in recent weeks,” wrote Eli McCarthy, director of justice and peace for the Catholic leadership organization Conference of Major Superiors of Men, in a letter publicizing the march.
